Lagorio painted both View of Elbrus and Caucasian landscape on canvases of a standard size and based them on drawings completed during one of the artist’s many trips to the south. It is possible that Karl Weber acquired them directly from the artist’s studio which was located on Bolshoy Prospekt, Vasilyev Island, or alternatively from A. Beggrov’s shop on Nevskiy Prospekt. The stamps on the verso of the frames attest to this: ‘The frame manufactory of A.I. Beggrov, Court Supplier of the Majesty’. Bulgakov mentions the fact that Lagorio took commissions from private individuals and from large shops, Beggrov’s shop being one of many. Beggrov was selling paintings and engravings, and in addition to the frame manufactory, he also owned the renowned lithographic studio.

It is either a bright red, as in Liza in the Chair, darkness. Elizaveta Sergeevna was only thirty when this portrait was 1909, or soft pink in combination with light-green, as in Liza in Pink, painted, and yet, this quite young woman appears to us almost more 1909, or light blue in Liza in a Blue Shawl, 1909. It is almost as if the mature than her age. It is as if she is yielding to some bigger force.

A Russian-born artist, Gluckmann’s career spanned the most significant events of the early twentieth century. After the First World War and the Bolshevik Revolution, Gluckmann left Russia to work in Paris and following the Second World War, he permanently moved to California, where he continued to live and work for the next several decades. Although Gluckmann is a twentieth century artist, his work at times resembles the aesthetic of the old masters, and appeals to a variety of collectors worldwide.
Gluckmann’s paintings of women have been compared to the work of Renoir. In the words of Octav Mirbeau, ‘He is really the painter of woman, alternately graceful and exciting, knowing and demure, always elegant, with exquisite sensitivity of the eyes, caresses of the hand light as kisses, profound visions as were those of Stendhal.’ Rich in monochromatic, opalescent tones, ‘Four Women’ is enigmatic and serene, the partially visible forms and averted faces of the women delicate and feminine. It encompasses the timeless grace and allure of the woman as subject, and is emblematic of this artist’s particular talent for capturing these ephemeral and age old qualities.

Sukhotsky, Moscow of the critical components of overall stage design. She rendered A.A. Chizhov, Moscow them as three-dimensional sculptures that served as key elements Acquired from the above by the present owner in the overall sculptural environment of the set, helping to shape the space of the stage. This principal was particularly evident in Literature the 1921 production of Romeo and Juliet. As is typical for Exter, Georgy Kovalenko, Alexandra Exter, Museum of Modern Art, ‘Costume Design for Romeo’ utilizes a geometrical arrangement of Moscow, 2010, illus. p.249 individual shapes and carefully delineated colours to create the sense of an object that exists in real space. The importance of Cubism and Futurism to Exter’s style is particularly evident in ‘Romeo’, as is her particular ability to conceptualize rhythm and colour in a three- dimensional form (Georgy Kovalenko, Alexandra Exter: Monograph, Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Moscow, 2010).
The art critic Iakov Tugendkhold (1882-1928) wrote of Exter’s designs: ‘the costumes in Romeo and Juliet were built on the same leitmotif: a wave-like Baroque line that spun in a spiral of feathers on hats and shoulders of cloaks. Here are the tenderly noble costumes of the eternal lovers: raspberry for Romeo and lemon-pink for Juliet, and in opposition to them, the sumptuous, sonorous, vivid, grotesque exaggeration of all the other characters, the witnesses of the “sad tale”’ (Georgy Kovalenko, ibid). ‘Costume Design for Romeo’ is a striking example of Exter’s unique ability to render a sketch into a functional form, one that exists beautifully not only its own space but serves as a reminder of its origin as one component of an elaborate theatre production.

Пейзаж К.С. Петрова-Водкина «На Сене» написан во время Пейзаж был куплен в одной из частных галерей Парижа в 2003 его пребывания в Париже в 1924-1925 годы. Художник был году. Картина «На Сене» - самая большая работа парижского командирован Академией художеств, профессором которой цикла. Надо отметить некоторую перекличку пейзажа «На он был, с целью познакомиться с программами обучения в Сене» с мотивами Сезанна. Сам ли художник решил в духе художественных вузах в Западной Европе. Художник пробыл во Сезанна выполнить пейзаж, или это было условие заказа, Франции год и ему удалось выполнить ряд заказных портретов неизвестно, но думается, что в этом случае желание художника и продать несколько своих работ французам, в том числе и заказчика совпали. В том же плане отчёта о зарубежной и пейзаж «На Сене», предположительными покупателями поездке, упомянутом выше, Петров-Водкин указал имя которого явилась редакция журнала «Кларте» (или кто-то из художника, о котором хотел рассказать особо – Leс.

Петрова- К.С.Петров-Водкин приехал во Францию уже зрелым Водкина, хранящейся в фондах художественно-мемориального художником со сложившимся почерком и мироощущением. музея К.С.Петрова-Водкина на его родине в г.Хвалынске В пейзаже можно обнаружить элементы его «наклонной» Саратовской области, где он перечисляет все живописные перспективы: превалирующей является точка зрения сверху работы, написанные в Париже, в том числе и пейзаж «На справа по диагонали - в сторону, указанную наклоном Сене», местонахождение которого было до недавних пор центрального тополя и «полёт» зрителя происходит как будто неизвестно. Рядом с названием пейзажа имеется в скобках и по меридиану Земли, по дуге – с юга на север, справа налево имя заказчика «На Сене» (для Clorte)». В указании заказчика – эти проявления могучего «планетарного» движения Земли – в скобках в записной книжке Петров-Водкин мог сделать петрововодкинские. Если посмотреть на все картины Петрова- ошибку в написании названия журнала «Сlаrté» на французском Водкина, написанные в Париже за год его пребывания там, то языке. Ошибки он сделал и в ряде других французских во многих можно увидеть тот же наклон фигур, стен интерьеров названий. С членами редакции прокоммунистического журнала, и предметов на столах его натюрмортов, как у тополя в этом руководимого Анри Барбюсом, встречались почти все деятели пейзаже. Здесь можно видеть ту же конструктивную схему культуры, приезжавшие из страны Советов в Париж в 1920-е сужающихся справа или слева горизонтальных опорных линий, годы.

Подпись на пейзаже одновременна живописи, о чём можно судить по снимкам в ультрафиолетовых и инфракрасных лучах. Анализ композиционного построения пейзажа, его сравнение с эталонными произведениями мастера, написанными в Париже в этот год, укрепили уверенность в том, что представленный пейзаж и есть упомянутая Кузьмой Сергеевичем в записной книжке картина «На Сене».

Образ Дерева Благого был наполнен особым смыслом для художника. В притче “Сон” Рерих писал: Перед войною сны были...Не удаляйтеся Земли. Земля красная, злом раскаленная. Но жар зла пытает корни Древа, а на нем свивает Добро преблагое гнездо свое...Берегите благое Древо: на нем Добро живет. Земля есть источник горя, но из горя вырастают радости. Для Рериха, Древо Жизни и есть сам человек, который всегда должен стремиться соединять земное и возвышенное. Изображения птиц в ветвях древа воспринимаются как символы восхождения души человека: пара горлиц - знак духовного союза двух сердец, утка в гнезде - олицетворяет семейный союз, а орёл в основании дерева символизирует огненное крещение человека.

For portraits by Serebriakova of David Hunter’s father and grandmother, see Christie’s London, Important Russian Pictures, 29 November 2006, lots 135 and 188.
This alluring portrait, redolent with softness and colour, illustrates Serebriakova’s affinity with youth and its charms. She drew David Hunter’s father and grandmother years before and in so doing was affirming the bonds between the cousins, all of whom are descended from leading lights of the Russian intelligentsia.
An Italian ancestor, Catterino Cavos (1775-1840), moved to St. Petersburg from Venice in 1798 to direct the Bolshoi Kamenny, and is celebrated for composing Ivan Susanin, regarded as the first Russian opera. His son, Alberto Cattrino Cavos (1801-1863), gained renown as an architect of theatres, designing the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, and the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow after its destruction in 1853. Cavos was granted the ‘architect’s box’ at the Bolshoi and this passed to his Benois descendants.
Alberto’s daughter, Camille Cavos, married an apprentice of her father, the architect Nikolai Benois (1813-1898), whose family fled the French Revolution in the 1790s and moved to St. Petersburg. One of their children was Alexandre Benois, who, within the field of Russian art needs no introduction. As Alexandre Benois’s niece and the child of artistic parents, Serebriakova was born into a family where her talents for painting and drawing were fostered.

From the 16th century onwards, the ingenuity of the village blacksmith extended to fashioning iron-bound trunks. Some of the most sophisticated personal strong-boxes created for the storage of important papers and household plate were crafted in Veliki Ustiug. The prominent trade centre excelled at producing examples with flat- topped hipped roofs covered in openwork straps forming bands of repeating stylised tulips laid over pigmented surfaces.
The proposed multi-sectioned casket is a cut above those with paper or fabric–lined interior as, here, the internal sections preserve their richly painted plant life, ropework-patterned borders and lively scenes. To the contemporary eye, the shooting centaur from Bova Korolevich, the oversized mythical birds and Samson defeating the lion would have resonated as deeply ingrained folk themes. Upon closer inspection, the moustachioed hero prising open the jaws of the lion bears a vague resemblance to Peter the Great. Not only would this have been a luxury item in its day but possibly also a political lampoon drawn from the popular prints or lubki that were available in town markets alongside the exotic parrots and native herbs for sale or simply for artistic inspiration.

Provenance Arthur William Webster Woodhouse (1867-1961), CBE. Thence by direct descent
According to family memoirs, the brooch and ring were purchased from Fabergé circa 1901 by the consignors’ great-grandfather Arthur William Webster Woodhouse, former Consul General at the British Embassy in St. Petersburg when the Revolution broke out, for his then wife Selina (1872-1951). At the time of the purchase, he would have been acting Consul General in Odessa. The couple later separated and Selina re-married Mikhail Sergeievich Plaoutine. He was arrested in 1917, after which Selina then fled from Russia entrusting her jewellery to British Navy sailors en-route to Siberia. She was eventually reunited with her entire collection upon her return to England.
Arthur William Webster Woodhouse, known as William, was awarded a CBE for commandeering a train that ensured a number of British citizens reached safety in Scandinavia. He didn’t leave Russia until 1918, remaining in post after the British Ambassador, Sir George Buchanan’s departure, in order to fulfil his consular duties.
Ella Cordasco, William and Selina’s daughter, remembered the Fabergé branch at 24 Bolshaya Morskaya in St Petersburg thus: “Opulent with plate glass windows set in massive supports of dark red-brown marble (or maybe granite) of a peculiar design which I always thought gave them the appearance of great barrels of treasure. It was a fabulous shop.” She goes on to recall that her family “owned a dacha at Levashovo where the Fabergé family also has a dacha but the Fabergés rarely socialised with their neighbours”.

Fabergé integrated oriental influences into some of the firm’s most exotic hardstone objects including netsuke-inspired animal carvings, bonsai arrangements and chinoiserie scent bottles. The designs were rarely intended as faithful renderings of Eastern prototypes and were widely interpreted in Russian stones such as nephrite, lapis, rhodonite, jasper, rock crystal and bowenite thus given a Russian twist. Carl Fabergé’s own studies of European collections exposed him to Meissen’s nodding porcelain figures and other Chinese forms adapted for export. The corpulent talisman of good fortune was not unknown in the West and Fabergé’s designers were given latitude to draw from sometimes seemingly disparate design elements to create Fabergé female magot in bowenite set on top of the vitrine.

For another cameo glass vase made by the Gus Crystal Works, see Exhibition Catalogue, Russian Glass of the 17th-20th Centuries, Corning, New York, 1990, no.60, p.105.
In late 18th century Russia, private glass works sprang up to satisfy the buying appetites of a burgeoning middle class who could not access the output of the Imperial workshops. The Maltsov family were probably the most successful, establishing a dynastic network of private glassworks expanding from the outskirts of Moscow to Gus Khrustalny in Vladimir.
Towards the end of the 19th century, the taste for Art Nouveau gripped Russia and with the Imperial Glass Manufactory producing individual pieces for the court elite, the taste for luxury French glass on display in the royal apartments trickled through to the more affordable mass-produced. The Gus Crystal Works responded by creating vases and lampstands with deep etched floral designs in the style of Galle. The factory also drew from the styles and workmanship of European glassworks at the turn of the 20th century, particularly in the methods and techniques of Austrian and Bohemian glassworks such as the Bohemian firm owned by the widow of Johann Lotz.
Upon the death of the childless Ivan Sergeyevich Maltsov in 1880, control of the glassworks passed to a nephew, Yuri Stepanovich Nechayev-Maltsov (1834-1913). He was a prominent collector, patron and owner of gold mines who contributed to the building of the Pushkin Museum in Moscow and to St. George’s Cathedral in Gus Khrustalny which now houses a glass museum.
